He wasn’t quite sure what Auntie Winnie would think about that - he just hoped he wouldn’t be disappointing her.

But that would be thought of more in depth later since the lesson was getting started. Which was a relief because Levi could already feel the stress he’d endure mulling it all over. So instead, he focused on Menon’s question after tilting his head at the curtain shenanigans. “Well, this isn’t something I do with a group of friends but my bestie and I bake chai cookies together in the kitchen.” Diallo usually went along with this, no matter how many times Levi dragged him off to be his baking assistant.

Hmm, another baking reference. Looks like he will have to look into making it a reality. "Nothing like a homemade treat."

"With a group of friends or my siblings we often play board games together. Muggle games like yatzy, ludo or trivia questions are popular since then we can play 4 or more together." The more the merrier.

"That is another great activity to connect with others." Nodding with a knowing smile.

Kraetos waited for each response before continuing, "Those are fine ways to spend time with your friends and family. You'll often find an activity is the one of the quickest ways to connect with others. Whether those connections build or break off, varies." Now for the build up. "Today our focus in on board games and designing one."

"While we have games such as Quidditch, Gobstones, Wizard's Chess, and Exploding Snap. Non-magical people have board games and game consoles to connect with other people. The oldest traced board game, Senet, hailed from Egypt around 3,000 BC. These board games not only focus on connecting with others, but can be teaching tools. Some modern examples include Scrabble, focusing on words and Monopoly with budgeting and finances."

"Before we come up with our own board game, what are some important features attached to one? Alternatively, if you've played non-magical board games, your favorite one and how do they stand out from the previous examples?"
